I would of gone with oem magnetic black (G41).
Just because you have flat black on your wheels....flat black on your parts are not going to match perfectly....so that's my reason for suggesting magnetic black.

+1 on being PPW.
+2 Because I've been losing sleep about deciding wether or not to purchase the SL2 front & sides because I can't choose a rear bumper to go with it. The SL2 bumper's too flashy for me.

Can't wait for you to get this painted!
I need inspiration since i'm unoriginal

Yeah, now that I see it in photoshop, I think the white on the mirrors looks good. Better than black like I had mentioned.

Sometimes my brain, it just doesn't see things right.

Just got my baby back from the body shop couple hrs ago. Some quick shots. Hopefully you will like it. I think I need a different spoiler, but not sure which one. Maybe you guys can provide me some input.
